Philadelphia court officials have extended a ban on evictions for another two weeks.
Municipal Court President Judge Patrick Dugan ordered that all residential evictions cease in the city through Oct. 7, extending a prior order set to expire Sept. 23, and giving renters temporary protection from lockouts.
Landlords say the extension is the least of their worries as the City Council considers an eviction moratorium that would run through December, but Rasheedah Phillips, from Community Legal Services, said the added time is “really a matter of life and death right now.”
